This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) from the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) for a contract modification with Qatex Limited. The document covers the acquisition of approximately 13,020,000 U.S. gallons of Turbine Fuel, Aviation (JA1) for the period of January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2025. The fuel will be procured via pipeline shipment to support Department of Defense operations, with the specific delivery location redacted.

The contract modification is being pursued under unusual and compelling urgency provisions, as the pipeline is owned by QatarEnergy and exclusively operated by Qatex. DLA Energy determined that no alternative sources are available, and the current contract was originally awarded using non-competitive procedures. The Contracting Officer has assessed the anticipated cost as fair and reasonable based on regional pricing comparisons, with no price changes anticipated from the base contract. Multiple levels of DLA Energy management have reviewed and approved this justification, certifying the accuracy and completeness of the procurement documentation.
